The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) and Ipieca, the global not-for-profit oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues, have released the report Health Leading Performance Indicators—2024 Data. The report presents the data reported by 35 IOGP and Ipieca member companies for 2024 using health performance indicators (HPIs) revised in 2023.The revised HPI statements relate to both process maturity and process coverage across the reporting organization.
The process maturity score assesses the extent to which a process exists within the organization that addresses the statements in each element. This requires determining if there is a process in place and if it has been fully developed, rolled out, embedded, and subject to audit, assurance, and continual improvement activities.
Process maturity results revealed the following:
- Medical emergency management scored the highest in 2024.
- Health impact assessment scored the lowest in 2024. This may be partly because of a change in content of the statements assessed; however, health impact assessment also consistently scored lowest in 2023 and between 2015 and 2021.
- Management of ill health at work and medical emergency management have been the two highest scoring elements over the past 10 years.
- Health reporting and record management, critical to the provision of robust data, has been in the top three since 2015.
The second score assesses the coverage of the process across the organization. In addition, the percentage scoring system allows companies to qualitatively assess what percentage of their sites, business, and personnel are at the assessed level of maturity and then convert that percentage to a numeric score.
Taken together, the responses provide an indication of performance as a whole because the differences between the way companies have interpreted and used the tools are likely to even out.
The IOGP-Ipieca Health Committee first published the HPI report in 2008. In 2023, the report was revised to simplify the scoring system and introduce a more specific list of scores to enable reporting organizations to better reflect their continual improvement efforts.
Updates to the technical content of the HPI elements included the following:
- Reflect the increasing recognition of the importance of mental health in the workplace
- Respond to rising numbers of emerging infectious illnesses
- Continue to help improve future health performance through preventive actions
- Include fatigue and well-being
- Separate fitness for task and health surveillance into two elements
